  • BBC & the Gaza appeal

    GAZA CRISIS donate now

    Great Britain’s state broadcaster, the BBC, has refused to air a charity appeal for aid to the troubled Gaza region on grounds of “impartiality!” While it is certainly not the purpose of this site to solicit donations or take political positions, it is clear that large numbers of innocent people are suffering from the actions of their fellow human beings and we are more than willing to redress the balance and help alleviate that suffering in whatever way we can. If you can spare any amount great or small to ease the pain of your Spiritual brothers and sisters please visit http://www.dec.org.uk/. (new age spirituality does not benefit financially in any way as a result of donations made)

  • Life’s Inherent Uncertainty

    Life is inherently unpredictable. We can, and instinctively do,  project forwards to obtain some kind of expected outcome, but because the journey of life consists of numerous branching points the actuality is often far from the expectation.

    The abundance literature says sustained visualization of the future that is both precise and made with the belief of certainty tends to bring the visualization into reality. However, the danger in being too precise in our goals is that we may close our minds to evolving alternative opportunities and lack the flexibility to respond to the unexpected. (more…)

  • Recession and Spirituality

    There is no doubt the global financial crisis will make 2009 a hard year for many. Yet, despite all this, perhaps the downturn may cause us to reflect on more meaningful matters.

    This crisis, we are told, was caused by irresponsible lending by banks on an enormous scale. When the inevitable happened, and borrowers defaulted, the banks were left with humongous losses. The result, no money available for would-be homeowners and genuine businesses, and the taxpayer (ie you and me) left to pick up the (substantial) bill. But even this highly compacted summary may be reduced even further to two words - sheer greed! (more…)

  • Aquarian Age Spirituality

    by T Stokes

    Unaffiliated spiritual movements, along with Complementary therapies and Alternative medicine, are now enjoying a huge upsurge in interest, In fact the biggest upsurge since the 1930s.

    In America the pharmaceutical companies have been backed by certain hard-line extremist religious sects, to ban outright all alternative medicines and practices, which they say are; “unchristian”. (more…)

  • Stop Rewriting History

    As human beings (or rather Spiritual beings dressed in human clothes) we have a tendency to analyze ad nauseam.

    In many respects this is advantageous, and places us one step ahead of our animal brethren, with whom we share the planet. It enables us to learn from the past, both our own and that of our entire race. It allows us to rationally consider and weigh future potentialities and, having done all this, it allows to plan the most appropriate action(s) in the present. (more…)

  • Is Your New Year one of Hope or Fear?

    As the Christmas holiday draws to a close and we contemplate the New Year many of us find ourselves reflecting on what lies ahead. It’s also time to look back on the year just past, gaining satisfaction from our achievements and trying to make sense, and learn from, the things we didn’t get completely right.

    It’s also a good time for taking stock of our lives. We need to look both outwards and inwards. At our place in the material world, our work, public roles, relationships and material assets. And at our levels of happiness, satisfaction, contentment and sense of purpose and fulfillment. As human beings we are privileged to occupy two worlds (the physical and the Spiritual) but obliged to give our best in both. (more…)

  • Quiet the Noise – Quietening the Mind

    The mind is the interface between body and soul, ie between the worlds of Spirit and earth. But the noisier is the mind the harder it is for us to hear the inner voice, ie our connection with Spirit.

    The mind is a tool, and a powerful one at that. Looking at the enormous technological progress made by mankind it has served us well. We have tamed nature to provide food, shelter and comfort. We have understood and are able to cure many of the diseases that can afflict our frail bodies. We’ve even managed to land on the moon, and with ever-increasing knowledge of the cosmos may some day colonize other worlds. The mind is a truly amazing servant; but servants are mere implements to serve the will of their master. (more…)

  • Is Your Motivation To or From?

    People are motivated by many things, but most motivations fall into two broad categories. These are the desire to move to something desirable, or to escape from something undesirable. And whether we’re motivated to or from is determined at least as much by our particular character as the circumstances we experience.

    Considering that our focus tends to realize itself (the so-called law of attraction) it’s clear that a to-mentality is preferable to a from. However, we cannot simply change our character, and the motivation issue becomes one of making the best of what we are. As with much of the process of effectiveness the key is knowing yourself, ie the character you have been blessed with for this incarnation. (more…)

  • What Does Spiritual Mean?

    There’s a lot of interest these days in Spirituality, and a lot of time, effort, and dollars are spent in the attempt to be Spiritual? And I suspect as the recession begins to bite this interest may increase significantly. But what does Spiritual really mean, and what behaviors will actually make you more Spiritual?

    Well, surprising as it may seem, you already are Spiritual. Be you saint or sinner, capitalist or communist, all-round good guy or local weirdo, you can’t help be anything but. The entire physical universe, and everything that’s in it, including all humanity, is a manifestation of Spirit, a tiny part of a great adventure. Born into this condition that we might get the chance to co-exist as an individual alongside other individuals, facing the kind of challenges that life presents. (more…)
